I don't post much myself these days, but I'd let him back on.  But those who
were primarily aggreived should probably have more say, if they are still
around.

IIRC he posted Julia's contact info online... perhaps it wouldn't be
unreasonable to ask him to agree to refrain from such things in the future.

I don't know whether I get any kind of vote, but if I did I'd vote to let 
Jeroen back. People, situations and communities can all change quite a lot in 
six years, and everything seems much more relaxed here than it did back then.

It's been a sufficiently long banishment.  Although, if we should have
occasion to discuss Israel, Palestinians, Jews, or Jewishness, I doubt
his opinions have changed and I doubt he will refrain from expressing them.

The watchamacallit wiki is a new project and we can hardly keep him out
there for behavior here.  If we keep conversation about that here for a
while we almost have to let Jeroen into Brin-L at this stage.

I agree completely with that.

Hi Nick, check out:
http://n2.nabble.com/Foswiki-f2555947.html

It's the archive for Foswiki discuss after March 2009.  I have a thread
near the top.  The gist is that if we are lucky we could run into a
problem scaling out.
As A.C. said there are webs and subwebs, as near as I can tell these
correspond to directories.  The performance of a web/directory degrades
noticeably by about 10 entries by which time searches take 5-10
seconds each.  Furthermore, these companies wind up having to use Google
search engines on their sites.  This limit is an area that is attracting
a lot of effort however.

One way around this limit is to have subwebs.  This gives your wiki a
hierarchical structure.  So for an encyclopedia you would perhaps have
mutually exclusive horror and superhero webs.   Now do we put Buffy the
Vampire Slayer entries in horror or superhero?  For an encyclopedia type
site, hierarchy is Bad.

I've been on Another List with him for some years and there hasn't 
been any interaction which was even so much as impolite between us on 
there. No objections from me.

I haven't participated here for a while, but I do still read the list daily
and keep up on current events.

I don't have an opinion either way as to the collaboration issue (I'm not
familiar enough the projects), but if anyone's interested in my opinion
regarding Jeroen rejoining Brin-L, I say bury the past and invite him back.
It's been a long time.
